US Army bringing back Jungle School and the Jungle Expert Tab!

Wow.

I don't know the details but this is fantastic news and I can't wait to lay my hands on the article.  I GUARANTEE that the Jungle Expert Tab will be coveted....not as much as Ranger but a step above Sapper and probably on par with Airborne (Not quite sure how the tab issue works).

Sidenote:  Glad to see they're using old school BDU's for the course.  I'm really getting a bit peeved at the vision of Marines running around the jungles of the Pacific in Desert Cammies because the Commandant designated it a "summer uniform".  Yeah that's right.  Climate specific uniforms have been reduced to being the same as Chucks in garrison.
